Columbia turned out to be right on the money. He was off about 3 per cent in his estimates for South Carolina and the District of Columbia and closer on the other states.
Gifford estimates that Maryland with 9.9 per cent will have the highest over-the-year growth rate from 1969 to 1970 compared to 9.2 per cent from 1968-1969, but will still trail Virginia slightly in total personal income with about $16.85 billion. North Carolina will remain a close third in total personal income ($16.4 billion), but with a growth rate of 9.2 per cent, down from 10.2 per cent last year, the gap between Maryland and North Carolina will actually widen slightly.
For 1970, South Carolina’s rate of personal income growth is estimated at 8.4 per cent down from 10 per cent; the District of Columbia is estimated at 8.2 per cent, up from 6.9 per cent; West Virginia’s is estimated at 7 per cent, the same rate as the nation as a whole.
